I too was completely thrown by that at first [my thoughts went 'That's a weird joke...I'm not sure I get it...wait, is it a joke?'] So I googled 'kink shaming' and was a little bit sick in my mouth. [Yes, that's hyperbole, before you call me on it.]

Then I remembered that a lot of people talk about 'The Dark Net' - that essentially, what most of us encounter online is only the tip of the iceberg and you have to know specific IP addresses and various sites and/or tech in order to see under the water - and shrugged it off as more of the never-ending weirdness that is humanity.

Digital-anthropologically, it's interesting to see that it's arisen on Tumblr which I thought had so far been the home of little of note. [Yeah sure, there's all kinds of art Tumblrs out there but...meh.]

Am I being too distant about this? Too academic? Should I be outraged? [These are also thoughts that crossed my mind when I first thought about it and now that the conversation's come up, I figure are good to ask you guys.]

@Ben GwalchmaiI think most of the people who are involved in things like this have an understanding of anthropology and are also interested in their relationship with society in general. Below is what I found to be an incredibly interesting video, if it's not TLDW. I would probably like to have a longer discussion on these topics, but for the life of me I wouldn't know where/how to start it.

Ok some may have already seen this and been posted here before, but it is in response.

Unfortunately, I have had the displeasure of meeting individuals who have honestly held positions like that. For instance, the logic used in that post is not too far off from the "Nice Guy" logic of why they have issues with women who won't date them (i.e. it's the women's fault for not realizing how awesome the Nice Guy is and that is bad).

Not really on the net, but the photo below is so...For my GIS work I use an open source programme called Quantum GIS. I was working on a layout earlier, putting in an image and found the packaged geographic religious symbiosis include the symbol of the FSM. Very impressed
